Description
Ricercare means ‘to search’ or ‘seek out’. The genre has its roots in imitative keyboard works of the late
Renaissance. Like scholarly research, it takes a subject and examines it again and again, from all angles, up
and down, front and back, in ever smaller fragments, before viewing it as a whole once more. The
combination of logic and passion is what makes great research. This piece is a tribute to the musicologist
Ita Beausang, who has spent a lifetime researching many aspects of music in Ireland.
